XCalibur Xr75 Rattle Bait

A Bigger Rattle Bait

This precision-tuned lipless crankbait beckons fish from far away with its high-volume rattles and intense vibration. Modeled after the hugely popular and effective Xr50, the ¾ oz Xr75 Rattle Bait delivers the same tight action and deluxe features in a larger version that heavyweight bass cannot resist.

 

The Xr75 Rattle Bait is ideal for places where the fish grow extra large and for times when jumbo-sized forage prevails.

 

The Xr75 Rattle Bait features include three-dimensional eyes, raised red gillplates, intricately detailed high-sheen finishes and XCalibur Tx3 Hooks with VMC InLine Technology.  The Xr75 Rattle Bait comes in 10 fabulous colors, including Royal Shad and Royal Red, which are new to XCalibur Hi-Tek Series baits this year.

XCalibur Xrk75 One-Knocker

Pros’ Knock-Out Punch

A guarded secret of old-time pros meets modern technology in the XCalibur Xrk75 One Knocker. The rhythmic knock of a single forged tungsten/lead ball is reminiscent of old Cotton Cordell One-Knocker Spots, except louder and less subject to wear because of the hardness of tungsten.

 

When the lipless crankbait bite is hot and everyone is throwing a rattle bait, veteran anglers know it’s time to tie on a One Knocker. The Xrk75 One Knocker uses the same flawless exterior design as the Xr50 Rattle Bait (except in a larger size) to push an enormous amount of water as it vibrates hard and tight, knocking steadily as it goes.

 

The One Knocker weighs ¾ oz and comes with all the features that set apart XCalibur Hi-Tek Series lures. The Xrk75 One Knocker is easily distinguished from an Xr75 in any tackle tray by a special K-marked shad dot on the tail. The Xrk75 comes in six colors.

XCalibur Xr50 Rattle Bait

Two new colors have been added

The Xr50 Rattle Bait lipless crankbait brings them in from far-off with super-loud rattles and a tight, precision-tuned vibrating wiggle. It casts like a bullet and emits an awesome amount of vibration at a death-cry-of-a-minnow pitch.

 

It’s so good at what it’s designed to do that two new colors have been added to the choices available to anglers: Royal Shad and Royal Red. The meticulously detailed design of the Xr50 Rattle Bait makes it the unparalleled choice in vibrating lures. Using high-tech, precision tuned instruments, XCalibur is able to offer you a crankbait fishing lure, such as the Xr50 Rattle Bait, that is almost impossible to fish wrong.

 

Weighing in at 5/8 oz and 2½” long, the Xr50 Rattle Bait swims on its way down on slack fishing line and swims as you retrieve it.  It’s sure to make your bass fishing excursions successful and plentiful. Comes with a#4 Tx3 InLine front and #6 Tx3 InLine rear Treble hooks.

BOOYAH Boogee Bait

New sizes and color

The BOOYAH Bait Co. heard that anglers wanted their baits available in more sizes so they could employ the same superb action and fish-catching profile for more species of fish and a bigger array of situations. So…BOOYAH obliged them.

 

In addition to 1/8 oz and the original 3/8-oz Pond Magic Boogee Baits, Boogee Baits now come in ¼ and ½-oz sizes, providing both smaller and larger options for fishermen.  The ¼-, 3/8 and ½ oz sizes all come in seven colors, including Black/Blue Shadow, which is new this year.

BOOYAH 140 HD Spinnerbait

Made for Speed

Thanks to a unique combination of a “weight backward” head design and patented counter-rotating blades, the new BOOYAH 140HD Spinnerbait delivers 3/8 ounce of weight in the frame and profile of a ¼-oz spinnerbait. It’s ideal for burning on the surface when clear-water smallies and spots demand rocket speed; this double-willow spinnerbait won’t roll no matter how fast you crank it.

 

The weight-backward design also makes the HD spinnerbait a terrific tool for slow rolling the bait in deep water over grass and structure.

 

The 140HD Spinnerbait comes equipped with the Leverage Flexible Hook System, a 55-strand Bio-flex silicone skirt with flash, premium nickel or gold plated counter-rotating blades and an XCalibur Tx3 black nickel hook and comes in nine colors, several of which were designed specifically for clear-water applications.

BOOYAH Bi-You Buzz

Double Trouble Buzzin’

Running side-by-side like twin outboards, the counter-rotating blades of the Bi-You Buzz create unparalleled stability and a buzzbait that finds the surface quickly and stays in position, whether fished at a snail’s pace or burned.

 

A unique triangle-shaped head helps the Bi-You Buzz get to the top extra fast and cut through cover, while the dual blades create a distinctive sound and bulky profile that attracts big fish. The Bi-You Buzz’ long lists of features includes the patented Leverage flexible-hook system, an XCalibur Tx3 hook, an intricate multi-step paint scheme and a 55-strand Bio-flex silicone skirt with flash.

 

In addition, the Bi-You Buzz arms can be easily adjusted so the counter-rotating blades contact one-another, creating “clacker” buzzbait without hindering the action of either blade. The Bi-You Buzz comes in eight colors, all with gold or silver-plated blades and exclusive BOOYAH skirt formations.

BOOYAH Pond Magic Boogee Bait

Small in frame, but not in action, the 1/8 oz Pond Magic Boogee Bait offers the same frantic jiggle as the original Boogee Bait with a downsized profile that’s ideal for pond and stream fishing.

 

The Pond Magic Boogee Bait is big in features, including the Leverage Flexible Hook System, a premium nickel or painted Boogee Blade, an intricately painted head and an XCalibur Tx3 hook. Pre-equipped with a Bio-flex skirt and built-in trailer and available in four special Pond Magic colors, this little bundle of dynamite comes ready to Boogee!

 

The Pond Magic Boogee Bait is available in four fish catching colors: Alpine, Lightning Bug, Fire Ant and Pumpkinseed.

BOOYAH ¼ oz Swim’n Jig

Two years ago, BOOYAH Bait Co. introduced the Swim’n Jig to the fishing world, and the response (both immediate and ever since) has been enormous. Anglers everywhere have changed the way they fish matted grass and other dense cover and have applied the jig swimming tactic to many other types of waters and a big variety of gamefish species.

 

Last year, in response to angler demand, BOOYAH added 3/8 oz model, which was one size smaller than the original ½-oz Swim’n Jig. This year’s version is another step smaller, at ¼ oz, and is ideal for slower presentations, sparser cover and conditions that call for showing a smaller profile. 

 

The ¼ oz Swim’n Jig has the same arrowhead-shaped head, twin magnum rattles and full line-up of features as the original and comes in the same four colors.
